@lucario @eli
Hoowee, that's a big forest! Well, Ashley, you're home again. Before I came to Animalia Academy, I lived in the forest. I lived off of maple syrup and other things. I landed in front of the forest and walked in. Twigs crunched underneath my feet, and the wind blew softly in my hair. All I had to do, was wait.

Angelica rushed into the forest out of breath. Taking a moment to collect herself. "Should have shifted." She muttered before straightening up and gave a smile. "Sorry I'm late."

(Sorry, couldn't get to a computer for a while. Some reason I was invited into this thread without my knowledge?)
Eli hadn't meant to really run into anyone. He had been exploring the forest, at least, the best that he could. He had shifted into his golden sparrow form and left his crutches leaning against a tree and fluttered off for a while. He hadn't realized he had left them right smack in the middle of where two girls were meeting.
Smooth move, Eli. Even when you aren't doing anything you get in a girl's way, he thought to himself before inwardly shrugging and flying to the tree where his crutches where. This was the tricky part. Getting back on the crutches. He landed on one of the large roots of the tree, and shifted to his human form, letting the feathers and wings melt away. He grabbed his crutches and used them to get up before brushing some of his hair out of his face and blushing a bit.
"Ah, sorry to interrupt, I can just go if you want," he apologized. It seemed that happened a bit.

(I thought eli and ashley could be friends! and I thought eli could be ash's crush...)
"No, it's ok if you stay." I said to the new coming boy. He was kinda cute to be honest.

Eli! Hi! Fancy seeing you here!" She smiled warmly at the boy. "Why don't you hang out with us?" She suggested looking between Ashely and Elijah with a small smile

(Sure, we can see how it works out.)
Eli perked up a bit when they all said he could stay. Meeting new people was always fun. "Alright, then," he smiled. "So, I'm Elijah, but as you can tell, people just call me Eli," he introduced himself to the other girl, since he hadn't seen her before. He got a free kind of vibe from her, like she was kind spirited and a bit whimsical at the same time. At least she was outgoing, because he did not need a jerk to deal with.
"And you are...?"

"Oh, I'm Ashley. I'm half cardinal, it's type of bird." I said to Eli. Man, he seemed like a great guy, if you know what I mean. He seems fun but also kind hearted at the same time. Eli seemed like a good guy, like me.

Angel giggled to herself as she watched the exchange. 'Birds of a feather flock together.' She thought as she looked between the two bird half bloods

"So, uh, why did you decide to come into the forest?" I asked. It's not really weird if you just came into the forest for no reason, but you have to have a reason.

"I was exploring," Eli answered. "The only way I really can, which is as a sparrow." He gestured to his legs, patting the right one with his arm for a moment. "Can't really do much with these guys anymore. I think I'm actually lucky though. Normal humans, they don't get to escape it by flying. Kind of depressing. Then again, some people have it even worse than those guys..." Eli's smile faded for a moment before he regained his charm. He bowed as best he could to Angelica.
"I would tip my hat to you, but I don't seem to have one," he joked. "Nice to see you again. And nice to meet you, Ashy."

She giggled shaking her head before doing a fake curtsy playing along. "Don't worry bout it. And it's good to see you to." She smiled

"Hehe, nice to meet you Eli." I said curtsying. Oh wait, should I have done that? He might get jealous, oh I'm so dumb. I hope it doesn't matter to him.

Elijah paid no mind to it. He hadn't noticed anyway. People always overreacted when he was lagging behind, slowing themselves down and feeling guilty because they had been going too fast. But Eli was too used to it to care. So he couldn't use his legs much and they could. Big deal. Besides, he could transform when he needed too, anyway.
"So what are two pretty ladies like you doing out here?" he asked, tilting his head to the side a bit.

I blushed. He called me pretty. "Well, me and Angel just met, and we decided to walk in the forest together." I said swinging my arms back and forth. That was something I usually do, and it's a habit.

"Ashy, you're gonna fall down if you keep swinging your arms around like that. Take it from me, I'm basically the master of balancing," Eli joked. He had noticed the blush appearing on he face, but made no comment about it. Sometimes he blushed, it didn't mean that he liked anybody, like most people assumed. She probably was just being self-conscious. It seemed girls were usually like that.
Elijah was not one to talk about that, though. ( >.> )
"A cardinal and a wolf, eh? Odd combination, but then again that's weird for me to say since I once went exploring with a bear and a wolf."

The wolf half blood chuckled. "I suppose." She nodded smiling as she looked around. "Last time I came here I met an intriguing guy named Benjamin who was a snake half blood and mute. Though he had the ability to speak he never did." She smiled fondly at the memory. "Anyways! Um watcha wanna do guys?" she asked

"Well, maybe we could...uh, I don't actually know. Eli, do you have any ideas?" I asked. I wasn't really bored with our conversation, but I guess we had move on.

"We can walk around," Elijah said, shrugging a bit. "Or you can walk around and I can limp around, I don't mind at all." Eli balanced himself out a bit more on his crutches and started making his way to a random path. "Coming or what?"

"Yeah, I am. Are you coming Angelica?" I asked. "Oh, and Eli, if you fall or become unbalanced, I'll try to help you." I'm a pretty helpful person, so I would pretty much do anything for them. Unless do something weird...Um, moving on.

Eli rolled his eyes a bit when Ashley offered to help him. "I can handle it. If I can't I will let you know, but I've been doing this for years, so you don't have to worry," he said, sounding a bit annoyed. He was tired of people always giving him special treatment, acting as though he needed it. He wasn't six anymore. He could use these crutches as well as anyone could use their legs. He didn't want pity. He wanted to be treated like he was normal...or at least a normal half-blood.
Without knowing it, Elijah had sped up a bit, as if trying to prove his point. Upon realizing he had, he slowed to a stop. His expression softened a bit.
"Sorry."

Wow. I just wanted him to know that I would help him if it was needed. His expression softened a bit, and apologized. "It's ok. I'm just saying, if you do fall or something, I'll help." I said. I started to walk again, and with my head high.

"That's not something you have to say," Elijah countered. "To anyone else, you wouldn't have said it. It's already obvious that you would help them." Elijah didn't move, but was staring at the ground.
"You only said it because of my disability. Because I'm different. So you are going to treat me differently, too," Eli sighed a bit, his fingers rubbing the handles of his crutches anxiously. "I never asked for this, I don't want to be treated differently. Everyone looks down on me. I'm tired of it." Usually it wouldn't bother him this much, but part of the reason he wanted to come to Animalia Academy was so he wouldn't be different. He would be around other half-bloods.
I guess even that was too much to ask for.

"I know. C'mon, let's walk." said Ashley getting a little annoyed by his rant.

Eli stared at Ashley for a moment, mouth open slightly, his expression that of utter confusion and a bit of outrage. "Wow," he said after a moment. "I honestly hadn't expected that from you." His expression faded to one of depression and Eli turned around and started heading in the other direction. He wasn't mad as much as...disappointed. Maybe in himself, for thinking that Ashley might care, but he thought it was more that Ashley had disappointed him all on her own. She had barely acknowledged that his "little rant" was something he actually cared about.
It was one thing for people to do what he did like in general. It was another for people to completely brush him off once he had voiced his opinions. And it hadn't really happened before. Not like this, anyway. He paused for a moment, turning his head slightly to look halfway in the direction of Ashley. He tried to give a small smile, but it was easy to see it was fake.
"Look, thanks for the walk, but...I'm not quite sure I-I'm in the mood anymore," he was stuttering slightly because he was lying straight to the face of somebody that he had thought was a friend of his.

(just sayin, ashley speaks her mind)
Oh shoot, was I too hard? Man, I always do this. Well, if he doesn't want to walk, then I'll just fly away. "Well, ok. Are you sure?" I asked. He might be lying.

Eli stared at the ground, not meeting Ashley's gaze. "...s-sorry..." he murmured, wincing slightly at his own lie. To him it hadn't seemed like she cared enough about how he felt. Maybe he should have expected it. Sometimes people didn't care about his mental state, only how he felt physically. She could be one of those people that did care, just not quite enough. Elijah couldn't tell. And at the moment, wasn't all that worried about finding out.
"See you around?"
